PREFACE
FM 101-5-2 is the Army's capstone manual for standardized report and message formats. It
provides a standard, readily available reference from which soldiers as well as automation
designers can extract report and message templates. FM 101-5-2 is a compendium of formats
commonly used by tactical units from small unit to corps and forms the baseline for reporting and
communicating as command, control, and communications technology evolves. It allows a
common, authoritative understanding of reporting and communicating to exist among all US
Army elements. It also relates to, supports, and drives command, control, and communications
doctrine and US Army interaction with the joint and multinational communications communities.
FM 101-5-2 facilitates the tailoring and task organization of US Army elements through
standardization of the command, control, and communications formats units use to communicate
internally. The voice-message templates contained in FM 101-5-2 provide the bridge between
technologically advanced units and those not yet modernized. This is significant because, while
our modernized units are among the most capable, nonmodernized units currently comprise the
majority of the US Armys active component, all of the reserve components, and the majority of
our potential allies. The US Army will continue to modernize all units, but the requirement to
communicate expeditiously and succinctly via voice will remain. Potential attacks on our
command, control, and communications networks, equipment damage, incompatible
communications systems, and equipment failures are other consequences that may require the use
of voice message formats, even for modernized units.
As the US Army's doctrinal library for report and message voice templates, FM 101-5-2 is
intended to prevent units from wasting time and resources designing command and control
formats. Units at different locations and echelons can develop similar SOPs for report and
message formats (voice and digital) that facilitate command, control, communications, computer,
and intelligence (C4I) exchanges. The FM 101-5-2 formats are derived from existing Army Battle
Command System (ABCS), United States Message Text Formats (USMTF), Allied Procedures
Publication- 9 (APP-9) formats, as well as numerous unit SOPs. These sources, especially the
formats from existing unit SOPs, have been collected, discussed, and chosen as the most userfriendly, functional, and adaptable.
As a user's manual, FM 101-5-2 will drive the formatting of future ABCS report and
messages, US Army input to the development of APP-9, and the USMTF message formats.
Formats contained in FM 101-5-2 are the mechanism through which the US Army seeks to adapt
these joint and multinational formats into a user-friendly and standardized land component
message format library. Parallel formats for ABCS, APP-9 and USMTF will enable US Army
units to operate in joint and multinational command structures without reconfiguring their normal
mode of operation. All future digitization formats for the US Army will be based on these voice
message templates. FM 101-5-2 supports the efforts of FM 100-34-1 (Tactics, Techniques, and
Procedures for Command Post Operations- TBP) and is consistent with current and emerging US
Army and joint doctrine.
FM 101-5-2 is directive and prescriptive. Units will use its report and message formats for all
tactical communications. Units will not modify these formats unless authorized by the unit
commander for critical information requirements. For Army-wide use, this manual does not
viii
FM 101-5-2
include many branch-specific or technical reports and messages. These formats are contained in
field manuals published by their respective proponents. Branch-specific or technical reports
complement the reports in this manual and are not considered superseded by it. However, use the
formats in FM 101-5-2 whenever possible.
Headquarters, Combined Arms Center is the proponent for this publication. Send comments
and recommended changes on DA Form 2028 to the Commander, US Army Combined Arms
Center and Fort Leavenworth, ATTN: ATZL-SWW-D, Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027-6900.
Unless otherwise stated, masculine nouns or pronouns do not refer exclusively to men;
however, reports refer to messages.

SECTION I INSTRUCTIONS
The report and message formats in this manual are designed to ease preparation and manual
transmission of written and voice reports and messages. They provide an organized template to
manually record, pass, and store information. To send a formatted voice message, operators first
fill in the appropriate blanks on the required message template and then read the message over the
radio or telephone. The receiver, knowing the message type he is receiving, can easily record the
information in the proper format. Voice messages normally are used when record traffic devices
are inoperative or not available, or when the tactical situation does not allow adequate time to
transmit a record message.
FM 101-5-2 enables standardization of battlefield reporting across all levels of command and
throughout different types of units. Every format listed in FM 101-5-2 operates as a voice
message format. Using standardized voice formats permits all units to communicate regardless of
the units level of modernization. It is anticipated that future digital formats will evolve from
those found in FM 101-5-2.
FM 101-5-2 has three sections: Section One contains instructions on transmitting written and
voice reports and messages. Section Two contains message formats. Its use is discussed below.
Section Three contains cross-over indexes. These indexes list the names, numbers, and locations
in this manual of reports commonly associated with selected subject areas.
Message Organization
All radio-telephone report and message formats consist of three main parts: heading, body,
and conclusion. Figure I-1 shows an example of the parts of a message. FM 24-19, Chapter 5,
discusses message formatting in detail.
The heading is the administrative portion of the format. Its purpose is to identify the message
source, destination, type, and importance. The heading contains the message addressee,
originator, and precedence. It also includes the message classification, if required. (All report and
message formats in FM 101-5-2 are unclassified. The unit commander or SOP determines the
classification of a completed message.) The completed heading is normally included when
sending a hard-copy message, as when sending by TACFAX, courier, or MCS. However, it must
also be included in voice messages. Figure I-2 gives an example of the standard US Army
message heading and explains how to transmit it by voice.
The body contains the information the originator wants to send to the addressee. In a properly
prepared message the information is in the line-by-line format established for the message type.
This information exchange is the main focus of FM 101-5-2. Figure I-3 shows an example of a
message body.
The conclusion consists of the message authentication. An authentication is normally an
alphanumeric from the unit signal operating instructions (SOI). The last line of every format in
this manual is the authentication line (the conclusion) of the message. Upon receiving a complete
message that is properly authenticated, the addressee indicates this with a response similar to the
one in Figure I-4. If the originator requests an acknowledgement, the addressee replies by
I-1
FM 101-5-2
transmitting the proword WILCO, Lines 1 and 2 of the message being acknowledged, and the
proword OUT. If the originator requires an acknowledgement and read-back, the addressee
replies by transmitting WILCO and repeating the lines for which the read-back is required
followed by OUT.

Line Number And Name. Each format lists the information the report is used to transmit by
line number, line name, and a description of the type of information.
When sending voice messages, the line number is normally transmitted. The line name is
not transmitted unless the name itself is necessary information. For example, Line 3 of an
Acknowledge message (AKNLDG) is the message type and is therefore transmitted.
Lines 2 and 3 of an Acknowledge message would sound like this when sent by voice
(over a secure net): Line 2, 2-39 FA; Line 3, Acknowledge.
When standard information is associated with a line, it is placed in the right column of
the format in upper-case letters. For example, the standard entries for line 6 of an
Acknowledge message are ACKNOWLEDGE and WILCO.
When a line requires detailed instructions, two asterisks precede the instructions (**).
When transmitting information on one line makes the following line redundant, the word
(OR) is placed between the lines. Do not transmit redundant lines.
Each format contains lines that require some of the information discussed below. Follow
these instructions when preparing messages requiring transmission of these types of
information.
Date and Time Group (DTG). The DTG line of a message identifies the message
origination time. Additionally, many report and message formats require DTG for additional
information. Regardless of where the DTG is used within a report or message, it is expressed as
DDHHMM(X) MMMYY where DD indicates the day of the month.
HH indicates the hour of the day, using the 24-hour clock.
MM indicates the minutes within the hour.
X indicates the alphabetic character that denotes the time zone. In written messages, the
time zone is followed by a space. The time zone indicator will be local time zone unless
specified in the units operation order or in the FM 101-5-2 format. As an example, DD
1972, Joint Attack Air Request, requires that times be sent as Greenwich Mean, or zulu
time, which is indicated with the letter Z.
MMM indicates the first three letters of the month of the year. In written messages, all
letters are in upper case.
YY indicates the last two digits of the year.
For example, 3 PM local time on 9 September 1997 would be expressed as 091500(L)
SEP 97. In a voice message it would be said: Zero niner one five hundred lima (or
local) September niner-seven.
I-4
FM 101-5-2
Units. The first line of a format requiring an entry for unit is to identify the unit making
the report. Occasionally, a subunit line is also provided for reporting information from or about
subunits. Unit SOPs dictate the format for the unit name; for example, call sign.
Locations. Use the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) to express all locations unless
the format specifies a different coordinate system such as latitude and longitude (LAT/LONG) or
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). A complete MGRS location includes a longitudinal zone
designated by a number (for example, 32), a latitudinal band designated by a letter (for example,
T), a 100,000 meter grid square designated by two letters (for example AR), and a grid coordinate
designated by digits. The UTM Grid Zone Designator consists of the longitudinal zone and
latitudinal band (for example, 32T). The MGRS Grid Zone Designator is the two-letter 100,000
meter designator (for example, AR). (See FM 21-26 for further details on MGRS.)
Send all locations as six-digit grids preceded by the 100,000 meter grid square designator,
for example AR121989 unless instructions state otherwise. To avoid confusion do not transmit
the zone and band indicators unless requested or required in the message format. If requestors
require locations expressed to a greater precession than a six-digit coordinate, they must specify
the required detail prior to the information exchange.
Addition or Deletion of Line Numbers. Originators of voice messages complete only those
lines required to pass the essential information, omitting lines that contain no information unless a
negative report is necessary. Units may add lines or repeat lines to complete their information
requirements. While actual message transmissions may vary slightly from the format in this
manual, do not delete lines from formats when reproducing them in unit SOPs to maintain
standardization across the US Army.
